Abstract :
This paper addresses the potential applications of power-line-carrier (PLC) communications technology within the field of industrial plant/equipment control. The special needs and requirements for this application (in terms of such factors as system integrity and response times) are considered in comparison with those for other types of PLC application. Existing PLC technologies are discussed and their suitability (or otherwise) for this application considered
